Poignant, missed opprtunity.
In 1940s Turkey, an unemployed young man accepts a job offer from a former school friend. He shares an office with a quiet older man, Raif, who seems to disappear into the background. As his co-worker lays dying, the young man discovers a journal detailing Raif‘s experiences in 1920s Berlin. This is a quiet, sad story, with broken people, and themes of loneliness, loss, and love. I couldn‘t put it down.
